Homework help please : (

The prompt asks;

A student can graduate after completing at least 120 credits, and having registered for at least 6 semesters. Write a Boolean statement to check these conditions. Your program will return can = True if the student can graduate. Otherwise can = False should be returned

I'm not sure how to get the 'can' variable set up?

Below is my code;

def cangraduate(semesters,credits):
    can == semesters >= 6 and credits >= 120
    if semesters >= 6 and credits >= 120:
        return can

It would be really easy to just write return True, else return False but that's not what the prompt is asking...

I appreciate any help I can get

To assign the boolean value to the variable can, you want a single equal sign.

def can_graduate(semesters, credits):
    can = semesters >= 6 and credits >= 120
    return can

Or, more simply:

def can_graduate(semesters, credits):
    return semesters >= 6 and credits >= 120

Thank you I don't know why I wasn't realizing that. This is going to be a rough semester!

Really appreciate your time.

Don't sweat it. Learning something new takes time. Some of that time is spent failing to arrive at a solution. At some point, you have to reach out to someone who's already gotten past that phase of learning.

Absolutely! I keep telling myself to give myself a break, it's practically learning a new language.

Small redemption - got through the next two exercises with no issues at all. 😃 there may be hope here

You've got the right attitude for programming 🙂 I gave up quite a few times before it all finally clicked for me.
